Something needs to be done about teams just sitting under shields.
Or, instead of calling it SimCity WAR, called it SimCity Battle, because these are short battles, not wars. In our last half dozen wars, it's decided within a half day, sometimes even sooner. One team just attacks with more people, gets the lead, and once they themselves are attacked enough to be all shielded, THEY SIT! They do NOTHING for the next 24 hours.
So, if this happens, give the losing team the option to FORFEIT, or SURRENDER.
For those that say EA is letting people stay shielded so that they can sell simcash for real money to buy better cards, my argument is, what about players that already have level 10 cards? There's no incentive to buy anything. It become a game of strategy. Except, it really isn't. It's more about what team has the most active players. Really, that's it. If you face a team and they have 90% players active and you have 80%, and everything else is equal, you're going to lose. Players know that once they have the lead and are shielded, they can just sit.
I do like some of the suggestions. Lose rank or stars for sitting under shield. That's the best solution really, because the only real reward for winning is getting to the next level with stars, or moving up the ranks.
Believe it or not, there are some players that actually play this game mainly for the war aspect. They really don't care about the chests unless it helps them with the war.
But the wars are getting boring because of the shield issue.
